Sutarčių sudarymo internetu teisiniai aspektai / Legal aspects of on-line execution of contracts

Kriūnaitė, Monika 09 July 2011 (has links)
Magistro darbe nagrinėjami sutarčių sudarymo internetu teisiniai aspektai: tinklapyje pateiktos informacijos vertinimas, pašto dėžutės ir recepcijos teorijų taikymas apsikeitimui elektroniniais laiškais, privaloma pateikti informacija prieš sudarant sutartį per tinklapį, įvesties klaidų ištaisymo galimybės reikalavimas, užsakymo gavimo patvirtinimo reikalavimas, kompiuterizuotų programų sudarant sutartį naudojimas, galiausiai, sutarties sudarytos internetu galiojimas, formos reikalavimai, įrodomoji galia. Dalis minėtų aspektų tyrinėjami pasitelkiant tradicinės sutarčių teisės teisines kategorijas, atliekant lyginamąją analizę su Anglijos ir Vokietijos teisinėmis sistemomis. Kita dalis aspektų analizuojami per teisės aktuose įtvirtintas taisykles, siekiant nustatyti jų teisinę reikšmę internetinių sutarčių sudarymo procese. Esminės darbe padarytos išvados yra tai, kad sutarčių sudarymo teisinis reglamentavimas šiandien yra dualistinis, todėl keliamas klausimas, ar pasirinkus tokį reguliavimo modelį įmanoma suteikti teisinį aiškumą internetinės elektroninės komercijos dalyviams. Taip pat daroma išvada, kad tradicinės sutarčių teisės kategorijų perkėlimas į virtualią erdvę nėra toks neproblematiškas kaip gali pasirodyti iš pirmo žvilgsnio. Pabrėžiama, kad nors teisės aktai ir įtvirtina tam tikrus sutarčių sudarymui internetu reikalavimus, tačiau aiškiai neįtvirtina, kokia jų teisinė reikšmė. Galiausiai matyti, kad teoriškai sutarčių sudaromų internetu galiojimui ir įrodomajai... [toliau žr. visą tekstą] / The present master issue examines legal aspects of on-line execution of contracts: evaluation of information presented on a website, application of post box rule and reception rule on exchange of letters by electronic mail, mandatory information to be presented before the execution of a contract on a website, obligation to introduce a possibility to correct input mistakes, obligation to acknowledge the receipt of the recipient's order, the use of computer programs in the process of on-line execution of contracts, finally, validity, form requirements and evidential value of the contract executed on-line. Part of the mentioned aspects is examined applying legal categories of traditional contract law to the virtual environment, also comparing those to England and German law. Another part of aspects is analyzed through the rules established in statutory law in pursuance to determine their legal meaning in the process of on-line execution of contracts. Substantive conclusions of the present paper indicate that regulation of on-line execution of contracts is dualistic nowadays; therefore the question is raised if such a regulation model is able to present unequivocal legal frames to the actors of internet commerce. Also it is concluded that the application of the legal categories of traditional contract law to the virtual environment is not as unproblematic as it may seem from the first sign. It is emphasized that thought there are obligations established in the statutory law to... [to full text]

The problem of term limits of the head of state in various forms of government: comparative aspect / Valstybės vadovo įgaliojimų trukmės problema valstybės valdymo formose: lyginamasis aspektas

Varaška, Mantas 28 March 2012 (has links)
The Dissertation covers the aspect of term limits of head of state and its links with the principles of national sovereignty, separation of powers and supremacy of the constitution in various forms of state government. The analysis of the concept of powers and term limits of head of state, put into the context of development of the global legal thought, uncovers progress in the scientific understanding of the concept and paves the way to the key arguments of the Paper (the right to establish term limits of authorities lies with the nation (John Locke); the term limit of authority is inversely proportional to the greatness of power (Charles Montesquieu). The study into the features and dynamics of constitutional regulation of term limits of head of state is based on the analysis of the relevant provisions in over 500 constitutions; as a result, the study establishes the development trends in the definition of term limits enshrined in the said constitutions. Another part of the study looks into the reasons behind the violations of constitutional provisions on term limits of head of state and analyses the dynamics of the said violations in monarchies and republics as forms of government, paying attention to the criterion of greatness of authority of head of state. On the basis of the present research, the author establishes the effectiveness of direct and inverse application of the rule formulated by Charles Montesquieu (the greatness of power must be compensated by the brevity...

Analizuojant valdžios ir valstybės vadovo įgaliojimų trukmės sampratą pasaulio teisinės minties raidoje, nustatytas jos mokslinio suvokimo progresas ir esminiai konstatuojamieji teiginiai (teisė nustatyti valdžios įgaliojimų trukmę priklauso tautai (J. Locke), valdžios įgaliojimų trukmė atvirkščiai proporcinga įgaliojimų dydžiui (Sh. Montesquieu). Tiriant valstybės vadovo įgaliojimų trukmės konstitucinio reguliavimo ypatumus ir dinamiką, išnagrinėtos ir apibendrintos daugiau nei 500 konstitucijų aktualios nuostatos, nustatytos jose užfiksuotų įgaliojimų trukmių apibrėžimų raidos tendencijos. Kitame tyrime nagrinėtos valstybės vadovo įgaliojimų trukmės konstitucinių nuostatų pažeidimų priežastys, dinamika monarchijos bei respublikos valdymo formose, atsižvelgiant į vadovų įgaliojimų apimties kriterijų. Remiantis tyrimų duomenimis, nustatytas Sh. Montesquieu teiginio (kuo valdžios įgaliojimai didesni, tuo trumpiau ji turi valdyti) tiesioginio ir atvirkštinio taikymo efektyvumas. Patvirtinta mokslinio tyrimo prielaida, jog valstybės vadovo įgaliojimų trukmės konstitucinių nuostatų pažeidžiamumas yra proporcingas jo įgaliojimų apimčiai. Šią konstitucinio reguliavimo problemą siūloma spręsti naudojant atvirkštinį Sh.Montesquieu teiginį (kuo valdžios įgaliojimai menkesni, tuo jų trukmė yra... [toliau žr. visą tekstą]

Kultūrinių skirtumų raiška reklaminiuose pranešimuose / The implication of cross-cultural differences in advertising messages

Bulotaitė, Justina 26 June 2014 (has links)
Reklama tarptautinėse rinkose yra pastovus iššūkį keliantis reikalas marketingo specialistams, veikiantiems globalioje rinkoje. Problemos iškyla, kai yra kertamos kultūrinės sienos, nes kiekviena kultūra yra skirtinga ir apibrėžia tam tikrus skirtumus tarp jos narių, jų suvokimo ir vertinimo. Dažnai tai, kas yra priimtina vienoje šalyje, yra nepriimtina kitoje. Taigi, nors tam tikros pranešimo strategijos gali būti gana veiksmingos ir priimtinos vienoje šalyje, jos gali būti netinkamos bei neveiksmingos visose kitose. Vadinasi, tarptautiniams reklamuotojams reikia suprasti skirtumus, kurie šiuo metu galioja reklamoje tarp skirtingų kultūrų. Kultūros įtaka reklamai yra paskutiniųjų keturiasdešimties metų marketingo specialistų diskusijų objektu, tačiau tyrimų tarpe egzistuoja kompleksinių ir Rytų Europos šalis apimančių tyrimų spraga. Darbo objektas – reklaminiai pranešimai. Darbo tikslas – išanalizavus kultūrinių skirtumų ir reklaminių pranešimų teorinius aspektus ir atlikus jų sąsajų identifikavimą, sukurti ir empiriškai patikrinti reklaminio pranešimo išpildymo ir kultūrinių skirtumų sąsajų modelį Lietuvos, Didžiosios Britanijos ir Bulgarijos kultūrų atveju. Darbo tikslui pasiekti keliami uždaviniai: 1. Atskleisti šalių kultūrinių skirtumų esmę ir išanalizuoti kultūros dedamąsias ir jos dimensijas. 2. Atskleisti pagrindinius reklamos aspektus, apibrėžti reklaminio pranešimo sampratą bei išanalizuoti reklaminių pranešimų išpildymo sprendimus. 3. Parengti kultūrinių skirtumų... [toliau žr. visą tekstą] / In a times of international business, market economy and globalization, it‘s became necessary to evaluate the cultural aspects that are often difficult to calculate, but having a significant impact on both consumer and corporate behavior. Advertising in international markets is a constant challenge for marketing professionals, operating in the global market. Problems arise when cultural borders are crossed, because each culture is different and defined by specific differences between its members, their understanding, values and attitudes. Consequently, international advertisers need to understand the differences that currently exist between different cultures in advertising. The object – advertising messages. The purpose of the work – after examining theoretical aspects of cultural differences and adverstising messages, to make the identification of their interfazes and and create and empirically verify the model of advertising message and the cultural differences between in respect of Lithuania‘s, Great Britain‘s and Bulgaria‘s cultures . Tasks to achieve the purpose: 1. To disclose the nature of cultural differences and to analyze the cultural elements and dimensions. 2. To disclose the key aspects of advertising, to define the concept of an advertising message and to analyze the decisions of the advertising messages implication. 3. To develop the model of cultural differences and advertising messages interface and analyze it. 4. Empirically verify the developed theoretical... [to full text]

Federacijos bruožai: Rusijos patirtis / Features of Federation: the Experience of Russia

Uogelė, Giedrius 06 January 2007 (has links)
The subject of this work is the experience of Russia, forming the federal state, the lineament of Russian federation. The aim of the beginning of the work is to define the term „federation“, it is identified as the state, that consists of different territorial subjects disposing the powers of the central government, and these powers are limited by the constitution of federation. The sources of Russian Federation are discussed, the conclusion is made, that neither the USSR neither Russian Federation were federal states. The foundation of Russian federation is overviewed, the treaty of federation, signed in 1992, is discussed. Much attention is payed to studying the legal status of the subjects of Russian Federation. The conclusion is made, that Russia is the assymetrical federation and its subjects have no totally equal rights. While describing the institutions of the federation members, the author notices the dangerously diminishing independence of the local institutions from the federal government, a matter of great concern is the direct elections of the governor, abolished in 2004, and the new order, according to whom local governor is imposed by the President of the state, after the approbation of the local parlament. The status and the role of Federation‘s council is discussed, it is concluded that it is too powerless and needs reforms. The process of the affairs between Russian federation and its subjects is overviewed. In 1993 – 1999 members of the federation had much... [to full text]

No. of bitstreams: 1 DissRWS.pdf: 6193084 bytes, checksum: 3bdd1b505e2e63b3865d89c32053e44b (MD5) Previous issue date: 2014-08-29 / Não recebi financiamento / The shape memory effect represents a physical property of materials with great potential applications in several sectors of Industry. In metallic materials, it’s a phenomenon associated to martensitic transformation and its reversion process in which the material, after being deformed over its elastic limit, can reestablish its original form through heat treatment. It’s really worthwhile to explore this feature because it allows the fabrication of joints and pipe coupling joints without the use of welds. The stainless Fe-Mn-Si-Cr-Ni alloys which this property are potentially eligible for this application and thus have attracted attention of researchers because they’re a cheap economical alternative and easy to be produced when compared to copper and Nickel-Titanium alloys with shape memory shape effect. However, these stainless alloys still feature discrete values of shape recovery and limited corrosion resistance. Besides that, the fabrication processes of this alloys reported in literature involve the production through induction vacuum furnaces that add great cost to the final product and imply few engineering applications. In this regard, the present work aimed to contribute to the study of Fe-Mn-Si-Cr-Ni alloys with shape memory effect and creating and characterizing an alloy obtained by fusion in inductions furnace without controlled atmosphere, assessing the different conditions of material processing when in terms of microstructure, mechanical properties, degree of shape recovery and corrosion resistance. The fusion of the alloy has generated an ingot with a high level of non-metallic inclusions and a certain amount of interdendritic porosity as well as the formation of secondary phases in the microstructure. The homogenization treatment has dropped some of the secondary phases, but the air cooling generated precipitation in grain boundaries. In the heat-treated condition, the alloy featured better results in terms of shape recovery and corrosion resistance. / O efeito de memória de forma representa uma propriedade física dos materiais com grande potencial para aplicações em diversos setores da indústria. Nos materiais metálicos, trata-se de um fenômeno associado à transformação martensítica e seu processo de reversão no qual o material, após ser deformado acima de seu regime elástico, consegue reestabelecer sua forma original mediante aquecimento. Essa característica é interessante de ser explorada, pois possibilita a fabricação de junções e sistemas de acoplamento de tubulações sem solda. As ligas inoxidáveis Fe-Mn-Si-Cr-Ni que apresentam essa propriedade são candidatas em potencial para essa aplicação e têm atraído a atenção de pesquisadores por ser uma alternativa econômica e de fácil produção quando comparadas as ligas com memória de forma à base de cobre ou níquel-titânio. No entanto, essas ligas inoxidáveis ainda apresentam valores discretos de recuperação de forma e resistência à corrosão limitada. Além disso, os processos de fabricação de ligas dessa natureza relatados na literatura envolvem a produção em fornos de indução a vácuo, o que agrega alto custo ao produto final e implica em poucas aplicações de engenharia. Nesse tocante, o presente trabalho visou contribuir para o estudo de ligas Fe-Mn-Si-Cr-Ni com memória de forma elaborando e caracterizando uma liga obtida por meio de fusão em forno de indução sem atmosfera controlada, avaliando-se as diferentes condições de processamento do material em termos de microestrutura, propriedades mecânicas, grau de recuperação de forma e resistência à corrosão. A fusão da liga gerou um lingote com alto nível de inclusões e certa quantidade de porosidades interdendríticas, além da formação de fases secundárias na microestrutura. O tratamento de homogeneização eliminou algumas das fases secundárias, mas o resfriamento ao ar gerou a precipitação em contornos de grão. Na condição trabalhada a quente, a liga apresentou os melhores resultados em termos de recuperação de forma e resistência à corrosão.

Ensaísmo e filosofia em Theodor W. Adorno / Essayism and philosophy in Theodor W. Adorno

Maurilio Machado Lima Junior 26 March 2012 (has links)
O estudo aborda o problema da forma de exposição do pensamento filosófico a partir da defesa da forma do ensaio na obra de Theodor W. Adorno. O que se põe em questão é o quanto a forma ensaística, em seu esforço de elaborar conceitualmente os dados da experiência particular, é capaz de dar conta da atividade filosófica - uma atividade universalista e interessada na determinação dos fundamentos últimos do real - em um momento histórico no qual não parece ser mais possível a ela erguer pretensões de sistema. Em seu desenvolvimento este trabalho se volta para a própria ensaística adorniana e procura mostrar se e em que medida ela escapa do espírito próprio dos sistemas fechados. / The work addresses the problem of exposition in the philosophical thought based on the defense of the essay form in the philosophy of Theodor W. Adorno. What is interrogated is how much the essay form, in its effort to develop conceptually the particular experience, is able to carry out the philosophical activity - a universalistic activity e interested in depict the ultimate foundations of the real - in a historical moment in which is it no more possible to raise any pretense of systematic philosophy. In its development this study turns to Adorno's own essays and attempts to show if the exposition form of his thought escapes from the especific spirit of closed systems.

Estudo da variação na pelagem e da distribuição geográfica em Cebus flavius (Schreber, 1774) e Cebus libidinosus (Spix, 1823) do Nordeste do Brasil.

Silva, Thiago Cesar Farias da 26 February 2010 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2015-04-17T14:55:36Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 parte1.pdf: 3253396 bytes, checksum: 62bbea573f4fb0c11369170c0ea35346 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2010-02-26 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / Este estudo tem como objetivo investigar a área de ocorrência de Cebus flavius e de C. libidinosus na Mata Atlântica ao Norte do rio São Francisco e na Caatinga de RN, PB, PE e AL para conhecer melhor a distribuição geográfica e identificar os padrões de coloração da pelagem, discutir sobre a posição taxonômica de ambas as espécies e relatar a situação de conservação de Cebus nas áreas visitadas. Realizou-se um levantamento de áreas de ocorrência dos macacos-prego através de entrevistas, busca de indícios da presença dos animais, visualização direta, análise de imagens e a captura de animais. Para análise da variação e taxonomia utilizaram-se espécimes depositados em coleções científicas e imagens de animais da natureza. Foram identificados 6 padrões diferentes de coloração da pelagem e 2 formas de capuz em C. flavius, e 7 padrões diferentes de coloração da pelagem e 4 formas de capuz em C. libidinosus. Os resultados mostram que C. flavius e C. libidinosus são espécies distintas, pois cada uma possui características morfológicas externas (morfologia do capuz da cabeça e coloração do corpo, extremidades e cauda) que as diferenciam claramente uma da outra; além de possuírem diferente distribuição geográfica, C. flavius na Mata Atlântica ao Norte do São Francisco e C. libidinosus na Catinga dos estados do RN, PB, PE e AL. Uma analise de clusters confirmou a separação entre as duas espécies. Não se observou nenhum grupo mistos formado por ambas as espécies. Animais provenientes da Caatinga com o padrão de coloração claro (CLib7) erroneamente atribuído a C. flavius pertencem a espécie C. libidinosus. È provável que C. flavius esteja ameaçado de extinção, devido principalmente a diminuição de seu habitat (fragmentação) e a perseguição humana. As populações de C. libidinosus também sofrem ameaça nas áreas de Caatinga, devido à separação das populações nas serras onde habitam e a perseguição dos animais pelo homem entre as mesmas. Ambas as espécies sofrem com a prática da retirada de indivíduos da natureza para a criação como animais de estimação no cativeiro.
